FERMI system maintenance on 11th December and scheduling policies update

Dear users,

we want to remind you the on Wednesday, 11th of December, Fermi will be off-line
due to an update of the OS version.

When the system will be brought up, an update of the scheduling policies will take place.
The maximum number of queued jobs for a single user will be set as follows:

Debug = 1
Bigpar = 2

This aims to enforce the debug queue to be used for testing, and, more in general, to grant
fairness on the use of the resources shared among users. We remind you that all the
jobs submitted over the above thresholds will be queued in NQ state, and eventually
become Idle and run by the scheduler.

Kind regards,

HPC User Support
